Question
**Ozone Formation in the Upper Atmosphere: A Thermodynamic Analysis**

In the upper atmosphere, ozone (O₃) is produced from oxygen gas (O₂) via the following reaction:

\[ 3O_2(g) \rightarrow 2O_3(g) \]

---

### Thermodynamic Calculations

#### Calculate ΔS° for the Reaction
- **Value:** -141 J/K (rounded to 3 significant figures)
  
  *You are correct. Your receipt no. is 165-9191.*

#### Calculate ΔG° for Ozone Formation
- **Value:** 326 kJ (rounded to 3 significant figures)
  
  *You are correct. Your receipt no. is 165-142.*

#### Calculate ΔH° for Ozone Formation
- **Value:** 285 kJ (rounded to 3 significant figures)
  
  *You are correct. Your receipt no. is 165-5574.*

---

### Spontaneity of Ozone Production

Assume an atmosphere where the partial pressure of O₂, \( p(O_2) \), is 0.180 atm, and the temperature, \( T \), is 298 K. Calculate the pressure of O₃ at which ozone production will be spontaneous. Enter your answer in atm.

- **Calculated Value:** 2.67e-32 atm (Note: this answer is marked as incorrect.)

Use the formula:
\[ ΔG = ΔG° + RT \ln Q \]

- Plug in the known \( ΔG° \), \( T \), and \( p(O_2) \) for an overall \( ΔG = 0 \), and solve for \( p(O_3) \).

*Be careful not to round off on your calculations prematurely.*
